Cult Following

Can you ever escape your childhood?

A searing memoir of survival, love and transformation for fans of Tara Westover's Educated

Bexy Cameron grew up in the notorious Children of God cult, where the concept of family means something very different to what we are all used to. One of 12 children, her parents were the face of the cult in the UK, and through occasional glimpses of the world outside, she held on to a spark of resilience and resistance which grew into a flame.

Long after her escape from the cult and now a successful filmmaker, Bexy could no longer ignore her need for answers to questions that had haunted her for a decade. Why were her parents still in the cult? Can these places so renowned for evil ever be a force for good, as their acolytes so fervently believe they are? Determined to find peace, she set off on a road trip across America to explore the hold cults still have today.

We all know that our childhoods can cast long, dragging shadows. But can you ever truly come to terms with what you've been through? What does it actually take?

Cult Following by Bexy Cameron is an exploration of these questions and an intimate journey towards understanding and healing from a past overshadowed by cult life.
